Why this is here!
I'm going to make a blog of my reviews because the sites I post reviews on always disappear and then my brilliance is lost forever. I'll be keeping this mostly limited to indies since there are hundreds of places where you can get thoughts on puroresu, and hopefully this can be a place where you can get indy reviews you trust! Or not....

I've seen almost everything on the indies in 2004, but I haven't seen December and I refuse to base awards on Meltzer's stupid calendar. Once I see everything from this year I'll do top 10 lists and the like. As of now, Punk vs. Joe from the 12/4/04 ROH show is the best match I've seen all year in a longshot and it isn't even on tape yet. Go out of your way to see the Punk vs. Joe draw in Chicago (10/16/04) too. For those of you just looking to jump into the indies with the best shows, here are my recommendations.
